I'm not sure how typical your Mailman environment is. For regular, non-geek lists, I think that most posts from Y! will be multipart/alternative, and I think that will be a problem if the MLM touches the message body in almost any way. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
